my dash was already changed out to an Autometer set up, in the rightside 3 3/8 hole. The single msd gmr works fine with the speedhut gauge, just not the autometer that was in the car. So, I bought a different autometer gauge that is supposed to work with the MSD GMR single pulse setting but...

So for 2 of my swaps, I used an MSD GMR tach adapter, clamps over 1 coil wire, ran to tach (Speedhut tachs) and switch power, ground, easy peasy works great. On my current Cuda 6.4 swap tried same thing, but with Autometer gauge (tried 2 different) doesn't work. My guess is the gauge. (1...

mine has the same bow in the same approximate location, but no crack.

on my 6.4 and 5.7 swaps that's basically where I run them. (slightly different configuration on thermostat housings)

MOPAR harness is the same. had to mount pass firewall in engine bay. I routed the "inside" harness through a smallish hole i drilled in the inner fender well, less noticeable and came in high on the firewall inside the cabin. Good luck.

Same with me (blown 440 source head gasket and deteriorated head around water port) , am working on a 6.4l swap right now, lol.

You might try looking at MMX or Flyin Ryan Performance, Texas Speed also has kits and CAMs. Just a few off the top of my head, but I'm sure there are others.

Might check with a transmission shop on swapping out the tail shaft section to a 2wd unit.

5.7/6.1 potatoe, potato, lol. pretty close to each other. you can put a 6.1L intake and coil covers on a 5.7 if ya want for a lot less than $3000. NOW for the real opinion on the matter. go with a 545rfe transmission. The NAG1 is a great transmission, but it does require a lot more to use it in...

Alot of the Holley products for the Cuda swaps have been discontinued, FYI. I am using some of their products on my 392/8 spd swap and while a decent fit, I did need to make a relief cut in my tunnel and then make a cover for the 8 spd to fit. Thier engine mounts put the vent tube for the trans...

Not certain, but I would look into using a 545RFE transmission, It's a bit larger than a 727/904 in the tail housing area, but i think with the right motor mounts and tranny mount you can get it to fit without cutting the trans tunnel (may need some BFH persuasion in a few spots, lol) also check...

yeah I'd say a little clearancing will be ok and so long as your pinon angle and Tali shaft angles still look good, go for it. but do keep in mind, the crossmember bracket is part of the torsion bar structural member, so don't clearance too much, as it could create a weak spot/flex point there.

the solution I had to come up with, lol. not the best, but functional and did not have to cutout the entire tunnel

maybe could try loosening the motor mounts, then raise the transmission and see if it still pulls to the right. (might be bound up a bit) Also the transmission mount might help pull it back over to the left when installed, but again I would loosen the motor mounts first. Dos Centavos.
